Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
In my work with codependency, I help people see how the urge to over-give and put others first didn’t come out of nowhere. These patterns often begin early in life, when learning to be helpful, agreeable, or self-sacrificing felt like the safest way to stay connected. Over time, that can turn into setting your own needs aside and measuring your worth by how much you do for others. Therapy offers a compassionate space to slow this down, understand it, and begin responding to yourself with more honesty and care.
Drawing from my book - Own Your Voice, I help clients reconnect with their inner voice and create better boundaries. Together, we focus on noticing where you’ve been accepting too little, giving too much, or silencing yourself to keep the peace. As you learn to trust your voice and respect your limits, relationships start to feel less draining and more mutual—rooted in choice, self-respect, and real connection.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Codependency is not loving too much. It is having learned, very early, that your survival depended on monitoring someone else's emotional weather — that your needs were safest when they were invisible, even to you. The exhaustion of it is real. So is the terror of stopping. Therapy is not about learning to stop caring for others. It is about recovering the self that went underground in order to make all that caretaking possible.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with codependency by helping them better understand patterns of over-reliance, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries in relationships. Codependency often involves prioritizing others’ needs at the expense of your own, which can lead to resentment, burnout, and a loss of sense of self. In therapy, we focus on increasing self-awareness, building healthier boundaries, and strengthening your ability to identify and communicate your own needs. I incorporate CBT and DBT-based strategies, including interpersonal effectiveness skills, to help challenge unhelpful beliefs and support you in developing more balanced, fulfilling relationships.

As an underlying issue that so many individuals struggle with, education around this is imperative followed by psychoeducation around how to set healthy boundaries with others.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Codependency and enmeshment can gradually blur the boundaries between self and others, making it difficult to recognize your own needs, feelings, and identity. Over time, this can lead to a sense of losing yourself in relationships. We will work to explore these patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and create more balanced ways of relating that allow for both connection and individuality.

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LCPC
We all learn how to be people as we grow up. Some of us learn that safety only exists when everyone else is okay. Codependency can feel very connecting, until it feels empty. We can work together to unwind codependency so everyone can live more freely and fulfilled.

Colby Schepps
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Caring for others is such a beautiful value. However, if caring for others often means losing sight of your own needs, it may feel difficult to set boundaries or trust your choices. Therapy can help you notice these patterns with compassion, reconnect with your values, and practice relationships that make room for both care and self-respect.
